I feel bloated..... wasted.....

Went out for dinner at Hanabi Restaurant for sushi. Ahhhh..... it was so filling! I feel bloated pretty soon and I don't bloody hell know why?!?!? I skip lunch just so that I would eat my fill! HaiZ..... Feel that I have wasted my money after I seen that I had not eaten enough.... but .... I could not force myself to do it! That is the only time I hope Felix is there to gobble up my share. LoLX.....

Anyway I just finished a japanese drama "Wonderful Life" starring Takashi Sorimachi! Hahha... I remember watching GTO, overtime and Beach Boys with him in it. Really love the way he act even thought it might look a little overboard sometimes but thats jap style of acting right?! Haha.... Anyway, I was kinda not expecting much from this show. I mean its just a simple story of baseball and children. How interesting can it be?! I was in for a surprise. The plot is kinda nice and there are touching moments. I mean REALLY touching moments. After watching it I remember why I like Japanese drama. Its so inspirational sometimes. LolX..... thats my view any way. Rating for this? I'll give it a 8/10 or maybe a 9/10.....

Had a nice relaxing few days.... I feel rested.... and its time to get to work on one more of my report .... no more mad rush..... PLZ..... I had enough!

New bg music that I found at last! Its "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. Love this songs beat which make you feel like dancing around! I recall hearing this music from "10 thing I hate about you" soundtrack. I went to read the lyrics of this song and I was kinda lost on what it is about. However I still love it! Hhahaa..... enjoy listening to it!

Out of the blue....

JunZ call me at 2pm to ask me to accompany her in Orchard. There was no school today so I reach Orchard at 4pm. It was kinda fun. Just chatting with JunZ and Barry then walking around. We were at Taka but spend most of the day at Far East. I could not help myself and bought a Nightmare before Christmas pouch and key chain. So pretty! Could have bought everything related to it on the shelf if I was bloody rich. LolX.... Next I bought a notebook schedule FINALLY. Its nearing the end of the semester soon. Hahhaa... maybe it will be make full use of next semester. After that is to accompany JunZ to buy present for her bf. It was hilarous watching JunZ and Barry bickering at each other again..... as always. Hhaa...

At 7.10pm I suddenly felt like eating at Ya Kun. Weird isn't it?! I blame it on my screw-up life cycle. I had woken up at 1pm today thus skipping my breakfast and lunch. The food was yummy though. LolX... combination of hot cripsy bread and half-boil egg with dark sauce ? Out of this world. Keke.... JunZ ate xxxchicken and we found some place to sit down and started chit chatting again. We can really talk so bloody long ....

HaiZ.... as usual after each outing I kinda like calculated how much I spend as a habit to control how I spend my money. Surprise surprise when I found out I spend a total of $50. NoOOOoo.... I am so dead! I still have.....
1) sushi buffet tomorrow which will cost roughly $30
2) meeting up with the army friends this Sat
3) shopping with Ah Ying

OMFG..... I will be so bloody broke! My $200 should be gone by this week..... sobZ.....

I have issues......serious issues....

After such a long and busy week, you would have thought I would be in sleeping mode at this weird hour. Well...... I think I have some serious problem- I can't sleep! Its like YES I feel tired but I am not sleeping. What the hell is wrong with me Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

?! I have totally screwed up my sleeping cycle. So I have decided to heed advise from the readers digest I stumble on. It says that in order for me to break the cycle, I will have to take it slowly by sleeping half an hour earlier each day. SO..... since I have been sleeping at 5am lately, it will take me about a week before anything will ever be normal! Sux.....

Anyway, I went out with Ah Ying today. Did the usual stuff of eating, chatting and strolling around Marine Square. She bought a super cute cup for herself after pondering over it for 15 mins. I bought a pair of black and white earrings which I think looks so nice!!!Haha... we will be giving in to temption when we go on a shopping spree next saturday! Can't wait...... I need new clothings to brighten up my otherwise bleak future of endless projects. I was overjoyed when my project was finally completed- with some help of course Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

. Now its time to pamper myself!!!

Ooo.... time to sleep. Start changing my sleep cycle..... Before I go off. A thought started going through my head. Well..... if drinking green tea will help increase metalbolism rate, what happens if I drank 2 cups a day?! The possibilites ..... Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

( I luv this emoticon look so adorable)..... will be testing it out by drinking 2 cups per day......

Interesting.....

Well, I happen to stumble on this interesting article. Its about green tea.
"Green tea weight loss benefits- it burns fat naturally and increases metabolism. Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such as fat. Drinking Japanese green tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally." See those highlighted in green?!?! More to come....

"Drinking green tea can facilitate weight loss by effecting glucose. Weight is gained as excess sugars and fats are stored in the body as fat cells. Green tea catechins can help prevent obesity by inhibiting the movement of glucose in fat cells. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been found to be especially effective. There is now good evidence that green tea catechins are related to reductions in body fat. EGCG is a powerful antioxidant with positive qualities but a balanced diet and exercise, lots of it, are of paramount importance to any weight reduction program."

It has also been reported that drinking green tea can cause insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine!! YEA! Just nice for me since it will be another sleepless night for me today..... I have a project due tomorrow and sleep is the last thing on my mind now.

Anyway, I am so gonna start drinking green tea everyday. Starting from now..... I just had my first dose of green tea this afternoon...... To healthy lifestyle! Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I was so groggy! Luckily I got the least slides....... I mean in this semi-awake state of mine I couldn't remember all the stuff that they tell me anyway. We were the last group for the day. We simply crap all the way till its our turn. All of us were so relaxed except for Micheal. Haha.... He was looking so stress. The rest of us just started to dance, sing the song "Hear the jungle the mightly jungle the lion sleeps tonight....." then our heads starting bobbing up and down. Geraldine and Zave even got into a fight!!!! Over a braclet which was supposely lend to her by Zave. LolX... Anyway the presentation was over quite soon. It was only 7pm before I reach home as we had to do some research for our next project. Fuck man.... one of the project just completed and here comes another one.

Blogging at weird hours....

My life cycle has totally change...... I can't sleep at early hours! I can't wake up early in the morning! Guess it will take sometime before I'll have a "normal" lifestyle again. However, I was given one bad news after another during lecture today. It seems we will have a group presentation due next monday . Guess what?! My group has done freaky nothing because we are such lazy bums! Hahhaaa..... thats not all! There is another individual project due on the 26th August 2005 .WOW.... this is a crazy month.... I am going crazy..... and I am getting whiney here.... loLX.... and getting crappy.....

I tried to get started on my ER project. In the end the only thing I have managed to accomplish is confirm the topic I am going to do and the page numbers in my tb for the related topics. Hhhahahaaa....... basically..... I have accomplished NIL...... The only comfort I have now? The are lots more who is gonna suffer with me too. LolX..... mostly the SIM people. Hahha..... Darn..... Now I am whiney, evil, crazy and crappY! Only thing to look forward now is the shopping spree I will be having wif Ah Ying. She book me on the 3rd Sep to go crazy shopping!!! By then, I think both of us would have some extra cash to splurge on things we have been dying to buy .... YEA! Can't wait .....

Time for sleep! So tired...... Before I go, lyrics to my bg song..... Thats how I feel.....

Bad Day
by Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

A real Hectic month....

This is project submission month. Lots of it will be due......and I just finish one of them. Gosh..... my life has now turn topsy-turvy. I bath at 12am or 1am, sleep at 3am wake up at 12pm in the afternoon. The projects are killing me!!! Luckily for JunZ and me, we have a good friend of ours to help edit our projects. Keke..... that person is so so nice!! Hahaha.... but we finally drove him mad. Oppps....

Anyway I watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" yesterday with the usual gang. Review for it? HMmm.... I'll give it a 3/5 star. Well.... most of the stars go mainly to Johnny Depp. I kinda like him cause he is really talented. I luv his acting in "Pirates of the Carribean" and "Finding NeverLand". He did not disappoint me this time either. The story is adapted from a novel by Ronald Dahl. It was my all time fav novel when I was in primary school. Hahhaa.... The story is about Charlie Bucket, a boy from an impoverished family. He wins a candy bar contest and is given a tour at the amazing factory along with four other children. The factory is run by none other then the eccentric Willy Wonka and his staff of Oompa-Loompas. It is kinda a quirky and musical movie. Maybe I was too hyped up in watching it so I was kinda disappointed by the plot. The novel is so much better. Thats what I think anyway. Recommended to watch?! Not really..... hahha.... However, I am so gonna watch the next Tim Burton's movie titled "The Corpse Bride". It looks super super cool. The male lead is voice by non other then Johnny Depp of course.

Anyway..... my bro has given me another proposal. Hhahaa.... he said that if I can get 2 As and 2 Bs this semster, he will pay for my dream phone!!! Yosh!!! I feel so motivated to work hard after that Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

. Ganbatte!!!

Time to sleep..... Feel so bloody drain out and exhausted. Change a new bg song AGAIN. Its a song which suits my mood. Its sang by Daniel Powter titled "Bad Day". The lyrics is really meaningful...

Woke up....

on Thursday to the sound of no alarm clock. Everything was peaceful till I saw the time and found out that I am late for my 9.30am lecture!! I was so freaking out cause its already 9.20am?! I had forgotten to set my alarm clock. Arghhh.... I was getting ready when I saw that it was raining heavily. It was so heavy that I couldn't see a some distance from my block. That was when I decided..... and I went back to bed. Bwhahahahaha..... I was just in a lazy mood. The heavy rain sure did not leave me much choice. I went to school at 12.30pm that day. Just in time for the lecture to end. Attended a SPSS course after that. You can say that the course was useful in some sense... I think. The only thing I found dumb is the certificate I received after that. Hahhaa.... its kinda lame if you ask me.

Anyway, had no school today. I practically slept my whole day away. HaiZ...... I actually feel kinda gulity about it. Feel so so lazy. Oh ya..... I am having this craze over reading comics nowadays. I adore Dilbert & Zits! Dilbert was introduced by my bro. Its a super sarcastic and humourous comic on the corporate life. There is always an evil plot behind everything. Hahha.... will add in some comic scripts about it the next.

On to the Zits comic. It kinda revolve around 15 year old guy,Jeremy Duncan. He is a freshman in high school, a B student, a budding musician, and a younger brother. He is so likable! I love the way he is always so amazed at his parents' spectacular ignorance about practically everything that's cool or important to him. Jeremy is like a grown up version of Calvin & Hobbs! Being restricted by his parents, wanting to be a rock star.... etc. Kinda can related to him on certain issues cause he sure doesn't act like a 15 year old sometimes. Hahhh.....Below are some of the comic strips I found..... enjoy!

I kinda do that sometimes..... keke..... you know. Escaping from doing chores. HHaha.... its what I call human nature ...... lala....

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This is so so me. I ALWAYs lie in my bed till its really late. After that will be the usual dashing about the house getting ready for school.... ahhaa...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

HMmmm.... I use to think this way. Hahha.... when I was in secondary school. The adults can do whatever they want! But they stay at home.....It was so duh at that time.... loLX....

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This is what I talk about Jeremey's constant mocking of his parents. C'mon we always have this stage where we think that our parents are so not cool..... how they can be clueless about every single thing that matters to us.... I am 20 now and so over this stage.....

If you think the above comic strips is unrealistic? Think again.... Well.... it really happen to me!! Zzzzz...... its gotten slightly better now though...... Zzzzz

What a nice surprise!!

Don't know what the hell came over my mom today. I was reading the Life section of the newspaper since I was kinda bored. All of a sudden I saw $75 being wave in front of me. My eyes went round and it was my mom waving it. "This is for your medical fees" my mom said. I was like giving her a "WTF?!?!" look since my mom seldom gives me money. She say I look so ke lian so giving it to me. I wasn't acting ke lian though. I just whine a little after I reached home that day. Hhahaa.... I was kinda touched though since my mom is a retired teacher. So for her to give me money is like a once in a blue moon thing. Anyway.... thnx mommy!

HMmm.... JunZ and me finally started our project! YepZ..... we did it over the phone and msn. Not much was done except for the introduction part. Well, at least we started right?! Hahhaa.... its due on 10th August *gulps*. Thats like 7 more days.... Hell...... I have not done much for my MOR too. I guess slack time is officially over. Time to get some real work done! Ganbatte !!!

Happy!!!

Finally..... finally I have my internet connection back!!!! I have spend 24 hours of my day without internet and it was an agony. Not being dramatic and whatsoever..... but it was so boring without it. Lots of things could not be done without it. However, more of my project is done when I could not surf net. Hahhaa..... take it as a blessing in disguise I guess? Hehe....

A new blogskin AGAIN.... I wanted to test out the connections to see if the modem is working.... in the end I spend 1 hour on this skin. Its not design by me of course but by the talented people from deviantART. Those people are really good with using photoshop and stuff like that. I just take the wallpaper and adjust the placement of the tables and stuff like that..... Anyway, I really love this new blogskin since I am A "Nightmare Before Christmas" fan..... kinda of.... Hhaa.... Looks so dark and creepY!! Change my tagboard too. The previous one wasn't working well.... ZZzzz.....

New background song by one of my fav groups Good Charlotte. Song is titled "Anthem".... nice nice music!

Omg 2.20pm now...... SLEEP..... time.....
